Animal product alternatives are meat, eggs, and dairy products not made from living animals. Two main types of animal product alternatives exist: those made from vegetables ("plant meat"), and those made from animal cells grown in vitroare cell-based ("clean meat") and plant-based ("plant meat") (Open Philanthropy 2016)2015; see Lonkila & Kaljonen 2021 for a literature review).

In late July, a group of authors in collaboration with Vitalik Buterin proposed a model called retroactive public goods funding (Wang et al. 2021). The model consists of a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), called "the Results Oracle", that funds projects considered to have high social value. The funding is done retrospectively rather than prospectively, by assessing the value of the project after it has been completed. Once the Results Oracle evaluates a project, it can send the reward to the person or group responsible for the project or, alternatively, it can use the funds to establish a price floor for a token associated with the project. As the authors note, rewarding via a project token in effect creates a prediction market for the amount of funding the Results Oracle will decide to allocate to the project, and allows the same project to be funded multiple times, or by other sources other thanbesides the Results Oracle.

HKI carries out over 120 programs in 21 countries around the world, including cataract surgery, vision correction, screening and treatment for diabetic retinopathy, distribution of treatments and cures for neglected tropical diseases, maternal and child nutrition education, and community-based management of acute malnutrition (Helen Keller International 2021a). Charity evaluators within the effective altruism community have largely focused on HKI's vitamin A supplementation (VAS) program, which distributes vitamin A supplements in sub-Saharan Africa.

I think it'd be good for someone to read/skim the relevant 80k article and write some entry text based on that.
I think it'd also be good to list/discuss EA, EA-adjacent, or especially-EA-relevant think tanks, such as Rethink Priorities, CSET, and NTI.
Thanks, David. In light of this comment, I now lean towards renaming the entry resilient food. Michael, what do you think?
